About this map

The Lewis and Clark National Forest defines this high-altitude landscape in the late 1950s, centered on the convergence of the North Fork Teton River and its various tributaries. This wilderness area, mapped through 1955 aerial photography and a 1958 field check, highlights a remote management and recreational network through features like the West Fork Ranger Station and the curiously named Empty Jug Cabin located near West Fork.

Major peaks such as VABM Mount Wright and Mount Lockhart overlook a complex drainage system, where the Middle Fork North Fork Teton River meets Garners Gulch. The prevalence of a labeled Pack Trail winding through the terrain between Lonesome Ridge and Bruce Creek reflects an era of forest administration and backcountry access before modern road developments reached these interior reaches of Teton County.
